SYRINGE-NOZZLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 22, 1909.

Application filed January 2, 1909. Serial No. 470,533.

To all whom 'it may concern.'

Be it known that l, EUGENE TULLAR PEARL, a citizen ofthe United States of America, residing at Passaic, in the county of Passaic and State .of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Syringe-Nozzles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates particularly to vaginal pipes or nozzles which, as ordinarily constructed, consist of a straight or slightly curved pipe about five inches'long of rubber or metal, with perforations drilled in and about the end thereof. Some of these nozzles are clumsyA others are grooved with quite sharp edges'and frequently have the ends almost squared and the outlets therein carelessly drilled presenting rough edges. Again, metal. spraying disks are employed and gouge-like ends are found in some vaginal pipes. All such constructions are objectionable and hurtful, as the nozzles tend to irritate the delicate tissues which form the vaginal lining and cause serious ailment. Metals for nozzles are objected to by physicians, as

y corrosion Vof same occurs when medicated injections are employed.

y The usual vaginal nozzle is attached to a rubber supply pipe leading from a fountain ag or reservoir and the flowfrom the same is controlled by a metal shut-off attached to the supply pipe two or three feet above the nozzle. In turning on the flow, a large quantity of air is forced into the vagina often causing serious trouble, and the nozzle cannot be conveniently held in use without the fluid medications and washes passing out from the parts, delug'ing the hand, which is particularly disagreeable and often offensive.

My improved nozzle overcomes these various defects, is thoroughly sanitary, convenient, and cannot cause the slightest discomfort or injury. 4It is preferably made from polished hard rubber and is approximately L or V shaped, the outer o r exit section thereof being slightly curved and the inner or inlet serving as a handle, is fitted with a hard rubber shut-oil` which can be opened or closed with the hand holding the nozzle in position. lAs the shut-off is formed in part with the nozzle the air space in the outlet end is extremely small so that practically no air can be injected, and the fluid and washings passing outl from the vagina cannot come in contact with the hand. v

vVith my angular-ly shaped nozzle, it is impossible to accidentally insert it too far. This often occurs with nozzles such as are commonly used and causes serious complications.

In the accompanying drawings I have shown a nozzle suitable for carrying my invention into effect. I Wish it understood, however, that I do not limit myself to either the exact construction or arrangement of parts, as various changes may be made therein without departing fromthe spirit and scope of my invention,

In the drawings-Figure 1, is a view in elevation showing the nozzle in use. Fig. 2, is an enlarged view of the nozzle showing the valve closed. Fig. 3, illustrates a smaller pipe designed to be used interchangeably with the outer section shown on the nozzle in Fig. 2. Fig. 4, is an end view thereof. Fig. 5, is a sectional view illustrating a modification. Fig, 6, is a similar view of a section for use as an extension between the valved section and the elbow of the nozzle and Fig. 7, is an end view of the nozzle.

Referring now to the drawings-1, represents the lower end of the tubing from the bag or reservoir (not shown) of a fountain syringe-and 2, my improved nozzle, which is reduced at`3 in the usual manner, to permit the tubing to be fitted on the same.

The nozzle is preferably angular, being approximately L or V shaped and is ro-4 vided` at 4, with a valve and at `5, wit a removable outer section terminating in a bulb-like tip, in which a number of outlets 6, are formed as narrow slits extending lengthwise thereof as shown. Designed to be used interchangeably with the outer removable section 5, there may be lany number of pipes such as is shown in Fig. 3, which may vary' in size and shape, etc.

In Fig. 5, a modification is shown in which the removable outer section 5 is flexibly con-A nected to the nozzle proper by an interposed piece of soft rubber tubing?, and at 8, there 1s represented an extension piece deslgned to glve more length to' the nozzle handle when used by corpulent ersons. The-ends of both the vaginal an enema. pipes are closed the fluid bei/ng discharged, as above tral outlets in vaginal pipes are Condemned i by leading gyneoologlsts. v Y Having, therefore, described my invention, I claim:

1. A syringe pipe y externally shaped to serve as a handle and having a valve therein, the stern of Which is extended to lie between,

the thumb and fingers of the hand grasping the handle, a nozzle forming a continuation of the handle and an elbow interposed as a connection between the same.

2. A syrmge pipe shaped to serve as a handle and having a valve therein, the stem of which is extended to lie between the thumb and 'nger of the hand grasping the handle, a nozzle forming ay continuation of the handle, saidA nozzle being closed at its outer end and provided with lateral outlets and an elbow interposed as a connection between thehandle and nozzle.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of tWo Witnesses.
